West End Road

Lyrics

Drove past the old house today, and I couldn't realize Why my new friends couldn't see The home that I saw with my eyes Then I remembered that I hadn't been there in so long And the things I'd seen and things I'd done Were memories that had gone They just laughed and called me the old sentimental fool I know they're right, so I'll try to hide the pain Because it breaks my heart to hear them say "Tear down the house on West End Road" It's been condemned a year and a day Its paint is chipped, the bricks are old The city says it's just in the way "Tear down the house on West End Road" It once was home to all of my dreams Back when we were so young and bold Has it really been so long since we fell apart at the Seems like just the other day, I saw it the first time It needed paint, it needed work It was run down but was mine Wouldn't know it if you went and looked at it today But that house holds the most treasured part of my past in a way They just laughed and called me the old sentimental fool I know they're right, so I'll try to hide the pain Because it breaks my heart to hear them say "Tear down the house on West End Road" It's been condemned a year and a day Its paint is chipped, the bricks are old The city says it's just in the way "Tear down the house on West End Road" It once was home to all of our dreams Back when we were so young and bold Has it really been so long since we fell apart at the "Tear down the house on West End Road" It's been condemned a year and a day Its paint is chipped, the bricks are old The city says it's just in the way "Tear down the house on West End Road" It once was home to all of our dreams Back when we were so young and bold Before we fell apart at the seams
